    Whether you ride a bicycle or not, you have to be impressed with this lady. I was about blown away last year when Kurt Searvogel broke the all time record for miles ridden in a year when he set the new record of 76,076 miles. Then, after an accident, as part of her recoperation, Amanda decided to ride her bike and rode 3,000 miles across the States with her father (unable to ride bike because of that accident) riding a scooter with her.

    This got her to going and away she went. I've posted part of the spreadsheet below and if anyone is interested I'll post the link to the entire spreadsheet. Not only did she break Kurt's amazing record, she shattered it by over 10,000 miles! Not only that, but look at her average speed!!!!

    That's a LOT of riding right there... and a lot of time spent doing it. Her average is awesome.

    I'm wondering if perhaps she will consider riding in the Race Across America? btw, that race is less than a month away now.

    Our bike riding consists of a nice relaxing pedal....usually no greater than 5 miles.
